Lamentations 3:22-24 MSG “God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left.” Have you ever felt utterly hopeless and like you had nothing left? Those moments of absolute devastation and confusion, where nothing in the world seems to make sense? Brokenness surrounds you, and it can feel so isolating and intimidating. I have experienced moments in my own life like that. I think back to when I had suffered my third miscarriage.…
2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.” I struggle with having patience, and waiting to see the full picture revealed.…

“In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11 from the Holy Bible, New King James). How much joy does it take to fill a cup? A bucket? An ocean?

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.” (Colossians 3:15 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible.) Paul wrote to the church at Colossi letting them know that God must be the ruler in their hearts. It’s important for us today to remember that the peace of God is the decisive proof that the heart is right with God. When a man loses his peace, it is proof that he has lost something else; that he has given way to evil, and…
“So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.” Galatians 5:1 It’s been a week of celebrating freedom in Canada and the USA. I’m sure at one point or another we have each taken a moment to thank God that we live in a country that allows us to worship freely. I am so thankful that I can enter into His presence without worry that my life may be in danger. I am also thankful that Christ has set me free from the bondage…
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6, NIV) Everyone is worried about something. No matter who you are or what phase you are in your life, there is going to be something that you worry about. Every day we are bombarded with choices that we have to make. Big or small, they can still weigh down on us. In a world full of decisions, how are we supposed to know what is the right one for us?
